Shanghai Four Days Itinerary
Raevian and I visited Shanghai recently and we had an enjoyable holiday at this cosmopolitan city, which has a unique mix of “old-Shanghai” areas along with modern gentrified districts. I would recommend anyone visiting to spend at least several days exploring this unique city. The below four-day itinerary will be useful if you are planning a trip to Shanghai. Note that between Day 1 and Day 2 in Shanghai, we also visited Suzhou and Hangzhou.
